My daughter woke me at 2:30 with a sore throat. I could not go back to sleep so I painted from 3am to 6 am instead! Such fun.     MG

Green Tea and Cherries

(Click Here to Bid)     6x6in  oil on panel   (bid starts at $100)

It is amazing that no matter how many times I paint I am always intimidated in the first hour. How to capture the light how to see the different patterns and reflections. Then once I resign myself to making one mark at a time, one moment of understanding at a time then the whole thing comes together like magic.    MG

The Quote that comes to mind is:"Color is Beauty but contrast is Sublime".
The purple spaces between the the marks of yellow are as important as the
petals themselves.

Well I am finally slowing my hand and eyes down.

I am starting see the subtle shifts of light and color.

Loving the quiet of a small piece.

I got some smaller brushes and now it doesn't feel like 

I am painting with a shovel in a small room.

Hope you enjoy this sweet return to cherries.

Lemon and Purple

(Click Here to Bid)   6x6 Oil on Gesso Board

Ok today was a nutty day.

But painting this cherry and lemon on a vibrant purple cloth was my zen moment.

Yellow against purple just sings for me.

Music playing, coffee in hand...and painting.

This small format is harder to work than a 5 ft x 5ft painting as
it demands  for the whole piece to work this is no room for
ambiguity....hmmm i am sure I will sneak some ambiguity soon.
